NARROWESCAPE FROM A BEAR.

The largest bear any of us ever saw
was a cinnamon that came within an inch
of killing one of my men, good hunter
and first-class guide-Charles Huff. Il
may refer to the big cinnamon, too, as an
instance of the danger that sometimes at
tends trapping the bear.) He had set his
traps near Sunlight, in the spring, and
was unable to visit them for Il week.
When he got to the bait, trap and log
were gone. After taking up the trail, he
soon found the remnants of his log
chewed to match-wood; the bear, evil
IDENTIFY large one, had gone off with
the trap. He followed his trial as long
as he had light, but found nothing, and
had to return to camp. Next day, very
foolishly, he took the trial again alone,
beginning where he had left Off After
long march he came to the steep side
of a hill the bear had evidently gone up
there on the soft, snow-sodden ground
the trail was plain. just as he was be-
ginning to ascend there was rush and
roar, and the bear was on him. He had
no time to put his repeater TO his shoulder.
but letting it fall between his hands,
pulled the trigger. The bear was within
a few feet of him, and by great chance
the unnamed bullet took him between the
eyes. He had evidently tried the hill
side, and, worried by the heavy trap, had
come back on his trail and lain behind
great heap of dirt, into which he had
partly burrowed waiting for his enemy.
Among the debris of spring tde-fallen
stones and uprooted trees-a bear could
easily lie hidden, if he was mad and want
ed to conceal himself, till the enemy was
within few feet. 1t was terribly
close shave. = The REV. w. S. RAINS
FORD, d. d., in Scribner's Magazine for
September.

You will be surprised to have me tell
you that think geographically; that
is, when you say a word at once imag-
inc the character that have used so long
to represent it. Conversation is one of
the things that no honest stenographer
will pretend he can take correctly. You
can't indicate the breaks, the flashes of
thought and feeling that make up half
of it.-Col. E. B. Di3linson.
